Hi, I am using my previous action.yml and config.yml of curator to delete old indices of elasticsearch. I have installed python 3.7.2 and curator 5.6. My config is: ``` cat config.yml client: hosts: - 127.0.0.1 port: 9200 url_prefix: use_ssl: False certificate: client_cert: client_key: ssl_no_validate: False http_auth: timeout: 30 master_only: False logging: loglevel: INFO logfile: logformat: default blacklist: ['elasticsearch', 'urllib3'] ``` And my action.yml is: ``` cat action.yml actions: 1: action: delete_indices description: >- Delete indices older than 90 days (based on index name), for logstash- prefixed indices. Ignore the error if the filter does not result in an actionable list of indices (ignore_empty_list) and exit cleanly. options: ignore_empty_list: True timeout_override: continue_if_exception: False disable_action: True filters: - filtertype: pattern kind: prefix value: logstash- exclude: - filtertype: age source: name direction: older timestring: '%Y.%m.%d' unit: days unit_count: 90 exclude: ``` When I do dry run: `/opt/python3/bin/curator --config /opt/elk/curator/config.yml --dry-run /opt/elk/curator/action.yml` I get following error: ``` /opt/python3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/curator/utils.py:53: YAMLLoadWarning: calling yaml.load() without Loader=... is deprecated, as the default Loader is unsafe.

Hi @mkain For below error please remove extra key i.e. **exclude:** at the end of in your action.yml file and try it. > [@](#): > > voluptuous.error.MultipleInvalid: extra keys not allowed @ data['exclude'] if you are still getting another exception please let me know. Br, Harsh Bajaj ---

Yes, this worked. final action.yml is ``` actions: 1: action: delete_indices description: >- Delete indices older than 90 days (based on index name), for logstash- prefixed indices. Ignore the error if the filter does not result in an actionable list of indices (ignore_empty_list) and exit cleanly. options: ignore_empty_list: True timeout_override: continue_if_exception: False disable_action: True filters: - filtertype: pattern kind: prefix value: logstash- exclude: - filtertype: age source: name direction: older timestring: '%Y.%m.%d' unit: days unit_count: 90 ``` ---
